I am having trouble fathoming why people wouldn't show up for a $1500 tournament when they have about a 1 in 100 chance of winning it. I really want to see some good games!

Here is an interesting interview with Bisu and Stork on map balance less than a year ago:
http://www.teamliquid.net/forum/viewmessage.php?topic_id=169641


Stork: "Protoss depend on catching Terran off guard to win. If a map is used for too long, no matter how unfavorable it is for Terran, they will be able to adapt eventually. And when they do, we lose our advantage."

Bisu: "I agree. Protoss’ performance really is decided by the maps."


That's why I really don't understand why old maps are used in foreign tournaments. I'm not sure about map age relations with Zerg vs Terran, but I'm sure it messes those matchups up too. Moreover, some maps like Python and Longinus don't even support the current meta game (You can't really forge FE on Python...even pros have been 1 basing on it with BNET Attack) and Longinus is too small and the expansions are completely different. And a competent Terran should have adapted to old maps like Fighting Spirit, Match Point, Benzene, etc...to the point where its disadvantageous for Protoss.

The problem with this is that terran is only that insanely strong positional faction at the very top korean level. Below that, if anything, they struggle slightly. As such, it is not hardly a handycap for protoss to use old maps, but perhaps giving terran a chance.

Isn't he [a.G]TerranBoy? He basically had the same stats on that ID, anyway I don't see the difference of clearing or transferring, you are losing the stats either way. I would just like to know if my group remains the same or not.

I can also say that in my group [ISL2]Para has done transfer to his other aka, iFU.Paradise, that means that he should be disqualified, and leaves only three left in our group.

If I confirm what you say is true, another player will replace him. Well, at least they'll be given the chance to. Whether they do or not would be solely up to them.

When will that new player be chosen? Because, since this is true, just check his previous score in matchlist, and match it with his score now on the "new" account Anywho, I need to know who the 4th will be, so I can ask him to PP the games 2 hours. No luck so fare, and iCCup removed my thread on their site, so I made another one in despite.

Wow mazur now paradaise... Tbh as previously mentioned it's better to have good games to watch than random C/C- guys who barely qualified, it's a shame that these guys are getting DQd like that.
